Hello,
I’m working with GLFW. I want to set up an app dealing with multiple screens, i.e 6, connected to a single graphics card. I have found out that GLFW can’t specify the display i want to use with some command like “-display :0.1” (https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/29). Since GLX can do that and GLFW is using GLX, i’m wondering if one could easily modify GLFW, so one have access to this option.
Since i’m new in this field there might also be a simple workaround, which i couldn’t find yet.
At first i considered using glfwgetmonitors to obtain the different screens, but this function only finds the primary screen. (GLFW has a working tests program called monitors, which outputs all connected monitors with some related data, but it finds only one monitor while 6 are connected). This might be caused because all the screens are in the same graphics card. Is there a way to modify, maybe, the xorg.conf file so that the system knows about the different screens? (I have Ubuntu 14.04) At the moment all the screens in the xorg.conf are adressed to the PCI bus 3:0:0.
Please give me some thoughts on either of these options, thanks
